Blacktip and silky sharks in this video that I shot while free diving off the coast of Jupiter, Florida

In this video  I filmed my close encounter with blacktip sharks, which is rare because of their elusive nature.

A common shark in the east coast of the United States, most shark bites in Florida can be attributed to blacktip sharks. This is primarily because the blacktips are found immediately adjacent to the beach, where the humans are swimming.

Blacktip sharks are fast, strong and smart.
